We will launch ImaginAsian TV (iaTV) in August 2004 as the first national, 24-hour Asian American television network. The fully advertiser supported ImaginAsian TV will offer American premieres of the best programs that Asia has to offer as well as original productions developed and produced by the network. The schedule will consist of feature films, drama series and sitcoms, news, variety and game shows, animation, children’s programs, music videos, sports, documentaries and more. All in-language programs will be subtitled by ImaginAsian TV’s in-house translators, and during prime-time, English-speaking hosts will introduce and provide commentary about the programs being shown. In July we will be opening our theater, The ImaginAsian, the only theater in New York City fully dedicated to Asian and Asian American film. The ImaginAsian will also feature cultural performances and community events. We are also a premiere sponsor of the VC FilmFest 2004 beginning next month in April. The theater is located on 239 East 59th St. in Manhattan.
